farmer52 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Martin's Pastry owned five 1995 CH612 with low rise sleepers. Powertrain is the same as my MH = EM7-300 and T2050. When I bought my current MH, I asked Martin's and the Mack dealer to contact me when the CHs would be traded. Yesterday I sent a note to the Mack dealer and I received a reply....GONE!!! I replied asking if they were exported or what happened to them. I will let you know if I get any info.So much for getting a heads up on purchasing another truck from Martin's. I will end this note before I go into a "rant". Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39 Baby Mack Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 That's a shame Ken, would've been nice to have one to go with your "MH"!I guess you're going to go back to buying Arnold rolls for your hamburgers and hot dogs! Lets all support Ken on this------- No More Potato Rolls!Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The path to the MH was thru my contacts at Mack HQ. Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike69mackman Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I haven't supported martins since they sold the gibbles brand to deifenbaigh who shut down the brand. I knew back when they did that it was going to happen, and I think they did also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew back when they did that it was going to happen, and I think they did also.I hadn't heard about this. When did it happen. Gibbles was the best chips around especially when they were cooked in lard. I guess I won't buy them anymore. Quote This is Mack country. On a quiet night you can hear a peterbilt rust away.

farmer52 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Don't recognize those brand names. May not make it to NH.Sorry to hear that you weren't even allowed to try and make a deal for a CH. If the dealer is that friendly, time to buy your parts elsewhere.I do not buy parts from the dealer so that is not an issue. But they are definitely on the "do not patronize" list.

Apple dog Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 No Baby Mack I haven't tried them but if I can find them I will give them a try. Thanks for the tip. Quote This is Mack country.

mike69mackman Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Yes Ron we buy martins chips, order them over gibbles anyway,although I have a soft spot for the gibbles red hots which there are still a few bags around. Just read yesterday where the fella that bought gibbles and then shut it down is now being sued by his former employer over some shady business deals.
